Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or too loose
Refer to the size guide provided by Dusk and compare with your measurements. If between sizes, consider the garment's intended fit (regular fit). For minor adjustments, the elasticated sleeves can be repositioned.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions (low temperature wash). Using a fabric softener specifically designed for cotton may help. Avoid high heat drying.
Shirring or ruched details lose elasticity
Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying, as high temperatures can degrade elastic fibers over time. Hand washing specific areas needing attention may be beneficial.
Color fading
Wash the dress inside out in cold water to minimize color loss. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged drying periods.
